I decided to try re-sketching this in new colors and to keep a normal, bland style and theme this time. A storm knocked out our electricity for a bit, so I didn't get very far. But I like the way this one looks. This is still very rough, but you can see bits of my work process. I did this one free hand over my sketch, where as I used line segments and anchors for my line work before. The lines would obviously be cleaned up up on this, but I think the free hand makes the piece less stiff then the other. I also added in a little hat to the pensive worm on the orange.

I still have trouble creating a character in multiple positions, so the blue elephant looks a bit different to me then the first, but this was what I had in mind for an accompanying picture to the blue elephant on the left. A few people had mentioned this would make a good 'missing you' card. I'm not sure the sentiment works on the second part, but I thought I would share it with you all none the less.

 

Another sketch I decided to color. I experimented with it as well, but it came out much closer to what I had in mind.

I started this from one of the sketches I recently shared. I liked the composition and I do like the colors I used, more or less, but I experimented with texture and my line work and I'm not happy with the results of those at all. Regardless, I thought I would share it with you guys. I may rework it to try play around with my techniques a bit more.

*Sorry for the top being so close/cut off looking. This was just for fun so the display wasn't a huge priority when I decided to share it.

Buzee bee revised

An updated/revised version of this piece. Happy Monday. :)

Something of a self portrait

I did this in Windows Xp's "paint" program with my mouse, and I guess it's something of a self portrait. I don't exactly look like this (my glasses don't look ANYTHING like Harry Potter's either), but I supposed it's how I imagine a version of my cartoon self to look. Still, I thought I would post it and let you see what I've been working on this weekend.

Silhouette

I absolutely love the look of these two. One is a silhouette of one bird on a blue background and the other is a silhouette of two birds on an orange background. I thought this style would make a good theme for someone's room.
